The Voyager is coming to Galveston!
Hi, fans of cruising out of Galveston,
I'm just reading that Royal Caribbean is bringing the Voyager of the Seas to Galveston for the Winter 2007-08 season. That is great news! The Port of Galveston is adding new facilities to accommodate the ship. That is great news, too! It's been exciting to watch the development of Galveston as a cruise port. As the passenger numbers grow, and the port authority invests more in improving facilities, Galveston attracts more cruise lines, and the cruise lines bring us better ships. It's become hard to pick a ship with several appealing options by Celebrity, Princess, Carnival and Royal Caribbean, and NCL is just up the road at the Port of Houston. Well, to backtrack, Celebrity gave us a try but isn't returning, at least in the next year or two. I regret we had to cancel our Galaxy cruise--I heard such nice things about her while she was here. The Galaxy will winter next year in San Juan. I wonder why Celebrity didn't return her to Galveston? Diana Ball near Houston, TX |

My guess is that Celebrity doesn't have enough ships, they did not order any for a few years while Royal Caribbean which is the owner has been ordering new ships. So they are moving an RCI ship to Galveston like they did with Baltimore because they need homeports for the older RCI ships while they put the brand new RCI ships in their place at the major cruise homeports. -- Charles |

Hi, Charles, nice to see you. I had totally forgotten we got the Galaxy only
after Celebrity took her away from you. Not nice! At least you sailed her. Your points about Celebrity's small fleet and RCI's need for port space are good ones. It's still a bummer, isn't it?! I am impressed with your cruise pace of late. I see you are still hoping to make the SGC. Have you done Bermuda before? Take care, Diana |

Your points about Celebrity's small fleet and RCI's need for port space are good ones. It's still a bummer, isn't it?! I liked Galaxy enough to go twice on her out of Baltimore. I have not done RCI out of Baltimore yet. Maybe if they move a Voyager class ship to Baltimore someday I would do RCI out of Baltimore. I am impressed with your cruise pace of late. I see you are still hoping to make the SGC. Have you done Bermuda before? My pace has slowed. I was hoping to do a Baltic cruise in June but I could not get all of the needed vacation time. The SGC is my next booked cruise but I would like to do another cruise between now and the SGC. I have been to Bermuda three times. -- Charles |
